It would take too long to tell you everything about me..... The shortest version is.... I have some physical issues. I was in a car accident, passenger seat, and we were "T-Boned" on my side. My left shoulder was crushed and my left knee was messed up. There was other stuff but those are the big 2. I've had 5 surgeries on my shoulder and one on my knee. It has made going to the gym a bit difficult. I can't do a lot of the things I used to love to do, water ski, jet ski, running or even swimming. I'm trying to push through the pain and reclaim my life and my weight. I've tried a bunch of diets that worked for a minute and then didn't any more. So, right now I'm doing Hcg. This is my second course and it seems to be working. No, it's not the drops. Most of the Hcg drops sold are not even Hcg they're just bitter water. I have one more course after this one IF I need it. If I do, it won't start until Thanksgiving day. Keeping track of everything I eat helps too. Having support and encouragement always helps.
